Self-Test Error and Warning Messages
The SFRA self-test can produce the following error and warning messages:
• Error 950—Internal temperature exceeds acceptable limits.
M5000 instruments are designed to operate in a 50° C/ 122° F
environment for extended periods. A high temperature may reduce
component life and instrument reliability. If error 950 occurs, turn the
instrument off and allow it to cool down before continuing the test.
• Error 951—Noise levels on the test leads exceed safe levels for the
instrument. Excessive input noise may damage the instrument or
cause excessive noise in the results. If error 951 occurs, stop the test,
ground the bushing terminals momentarily to discharge stored energy,
and restart the test. You can continue the test without changing your
setup, but results may be noisy and in severe cases the instrument may
be damaged.
• Alert 952—Resistance between ground connections exceeds 1 ohm
and may be too high (Figure 3.36).
